Default killed 94-96 gst modded eclipse

All i can say is i whooped that GST (front wheel drive turbo elcipse). This guy pulled up next to me in a vevy clean GST eclispe. It was obvious with his facial expressions that he wanted to race. Before the light turned green i said nice car and i inquired about the mods he had. He said boost to 17psi and a few other mods. He clealy had exhasut and i saw a big phat intercooler hanging down in the front. I said lets race man and he was really cool and said sure. So first run cleaned him up by about 5 car lenths to 60mph. Next stop light same result. When we pulled up again and the next light we complimented each other on our cars. I have to admit though he was spining his wheels like crazy at the launch. I bet he wished he had AWD instead of FWD.

Default Nope, FWD

There has never been a RWD Mitsubishi Eclipse variant. It is definitely FWD if it is a GS-T. This is true for the Laser/Talon variety also.

I am a past DSM owner 1st generation talon AWD. They are either AWD or FWD. I had mine running in the high twelves low 13's but that thing was the most unreliable car i have ever seen. This car i raced today was a 2nd generation FWD. He clearly had a problem hooking up. He had quite a few mods bud he did not go into detail as we were stopped at the light. The only thing i caught was he said 17psi(stock turbo), intercooler, and exhaust and whatever else he had. Those FWD turbos with that much power have so much torque steer and unless you have proper tracion , they will just sit there and spin away.
